A bail bondsman out of Sullivan County, Tennessee, James David Thompson, is being held in the Sullivan County jail on child rape charges tonight. His bail bond is set at $50,000 and as of now he has yet to post that bond. This is breaking news and so far the Sullivan County Sheriff's Department and its deputies are being quiet about it.

If any more news is released you will be the first to hear about out as this is all we know as of now.

If he is in fact guilty we hope to see that justice is served in this case. Our thougths and prayers go out to the victim and their family.

A San Bernardino, California bail agent who pleaded guilty in 2004 to charges stemming from the county's bail bond investigation was sentenced last Friday to three years felony probation for soliciting and paying inmates to send him bond business.

Evidence indicates the bail bond company was paying inmates to solicit business, according to prosecutors. In turn, inmates received money into their inmate accounts, free three-way phone calls and lower bail premiums in consideration for bail referrals, the 25-count indictment alleges.

This practice is also in many cases deemed illegal and most definitely deemed as a prohibited practice by bailbondsman according the the Missouri Department of Insurance.
